Watermark Trout Fisheries, adjacent to the beautiful River Churn is situated in the fabulous Cotswold Countryside on the outskirts of South Cerney near Cirencester. This venue is perfect for anglers traveling from London, Birmingham, Bristol and Oxford, within easy reach of the M4 and M5. The fishery is maintained to an extremely high standard specialising in producing high quality brown trout.
The Watermark fishery has become famous for its crystal clear water and high quality fish grown onsite in their own spring-fed stock ponds. The high flow rate in these ponds ensure the fish are almost wild, which means a 4lb minimum leader due to the fighting ability of these pristine fish. This is an ideal stalking water and is one of the best dry fly lake fisheries in the area.
Tactics Through the Seasons
April - June
The buzzer fishing is second to none. Try a superglue buzzer in size 12 or 10 on a 12-14ft leader, fished figure of eight. When the fish are rising a hatching buzzer just below the surface is a must.
Look out for the green drakes in May, with lures always a good bet on intermediate and sinking lines.
July - September
The fishery is blessed with deep, cold spring-fed water. If the weather warms up, you need to go deep. Try a nymph or a large lure and you will consistently find hard-fighting silver fish throughout the season.
October - April
A variety of lures on intermediate and sinking lines are deadly. Just remember - brown trout must be returned out of season.
